Snohomish contractor fined $396K for repeat fall protection violations
SNOHOMISH — After 15 citations, the owner of a Snohomish framing company is now facing nearly $400,000 in fines for allegedly allowing crew members to work more than 26 feet above the ground without fall protection, according to the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries.
Cecilio Solorio, owner of Genesis Framing Construction, faces $396,847 in fines for nine violations.
Reached by a Herald reporter Tuesday, Solorio said he will appeal the citations.
Falls are among the most serious hazards and can result in injuries or even death, the agency said.
